My Aurender N150 is stuck in repeat mode I hope you have more luck with Aurender customer service than I had. | |
The time has come and I request advice... When I had an Aurender it didn't do Roon at all. I don't know if things have changed. | |
Giving Advice without recommending your own equipment Other people's views can be of limited use in relation to SQ but not in relation to reliability. For SQ you have to hear it yourself preferably, if at all possible, in your own listening environment. | |
Customs delay from China. How long should I reasonably wait? I had a similar experience with FedEx when importing a preamp from the USA to Australia. It was stuck with either Australian Customs or FedEx and I couldn't get any information from either. In fact it was virtually impossible to contact them at al... | |
How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? Class D has come a long way and I have been more than happy with SQ of the Nord Purifi. Many other reviewers and actual users have also been impressed with most of the new Gan and Class D amps. @ghdprentice I too have moved on from the MLs, now... | |
How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? Gan and Purifi based Class D amps will drive any inefficient speakers and the cost is not excessive. I used a Purifi Class D rated at 300wpc to drive ML Vantage speakers which go as low as 1 ohm at times. | |
Microphonics, Feedback and Bob Carver Fascinating to see two technical experts to and fro on an issue even if I have no understanding of the technicalities that they are debating. | |
Kids, Dogs, and Speakers It would take a truck to knock over a pair of Duntech Sovereigns. | |
vibration control - cd player The best vibration control according to most engineers is springs. You can pay a lot or very little if you buy on Aliexpress. | |
The $10,000 Question I'm no help on an integrated but hear good things about Hegel and Rogue integrated. As far as speakers go if you are into classical and tube sound get the highest level Sonus Fabers you can afford possibly used . | |
Help me pick some new or used speaker cables +1 for Cardas is you want to take the sting out of the top end. | |
Best Circa 90's CDP I have an ageing Exemplar SACD player ( a John Tucker modified Denon DVD3910 ). Yes I have had to replace the laser unit but no great deal and I would back the sound quality against most recent players. | |
Is My McIntosh C52 Pre-amp The Weak Link? Another vote for getting an external DAC. If you like the Mac keep it. I personally am not a fan of McIntosh preamps but that is just me as I know many people love them. | |
Clock vs Streamer advice @lalitk I tried apps associated with streamers from Elac, Cambridge Audio, Auralic, iFi Zen and Aurender but none of them was as good as the native Qobuz app. I was unable to find any way of using the Qobuz app with any of those streamers except ... | |
Clock vs Streamer advice Aurenders sound great but the app is not good if you want to stream classical music. Also you can't at present use Roon with an Aurender if you think you might want to go the Roon way. |
